So true!
On the first day, God created the dog and said:
'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or
walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.'
The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years
and I'll give you back the other ten?'
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said:
'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give
you a 20 year life span.'
The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for 20 years? That's a pretty long time
to perform. How about I give you back 10 like the dog did?'
And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said:
'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under
the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For
this, I will give you a life span of 60 years.'
The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for 60
years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?'
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man and said:
'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you 20
years.'
But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my 20, the
40 the cow gave back, the 10 the monkey gave back, and the 10 the dog
gave back, that makes 80, okay?'
'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.'
So that is why for our first 20 years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next 40 years we slave in the sun to support our
family. For the next 10 years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren. And for the last 10 years we sit on the front porch and
bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it
